Atlántida Sport Club is a Paraguayan football club from the neighbourhood of Obrero, in Asunción. The club was founded on December 23, 1906 and plays in the Primera División B Metropolitana of the Tercera División since the 2013 season. Their home games are played at the Estadio Flaviano Díaz.
The club has been playing in the lower divisions of the Paraguayan league for several decades and their most notable achievements are the three second-place finishes they achieved when they were playing in the first division.[1]
History
The club was founded right before Christmas day on December 23, 1906. Its main founders were Flaviano Díaz, Héctor Díaz, Lino Bogado, Miguel Ferraro and Antonio Tavarozzi, being Flaviano Díaz its first president ever.
Atlántida are one of the oldest clubs in Paraguayan football history, but have long been overshadowed in Barrio Obrero by their neighbors Cerro Porteño, Nacional and Club Sol de América.
The club was runner-up in the Paraguayan Primera División on three occasions: 1910, 1911, and 1936 - they haven't been in the top division since 1954, when they were relegated. They have also won the second division in 1927 and 1951, the third division in 1960, 1978, and 1981, and the fourth division in 1997, 2012, and 2017.
